Sticks'n'Sushi Cambridge

About

Sticks’n’Sushi Cambridge is a contemporary fusion concept that blends Japanese sushi and Danish influences in a lively, student‑friendly setting. Opened in May 2016 on Wheeler Street opposite the Cambridge Corn Exchange, the restaurant sits in a charming, pedestrian area just a short walk from the university and a convenient spot for both local diners and visitors. The chain traces its roots back to 1994, when founders Kim and Jens Rahbek Hansen launched the first location in Copenhagen. Over the next two decades they expanded across Denmark, the United Kingdom and Berlin, with the Cambridge outlet becoming the eighth UK restaurant in 2016. The space is designed to feel open and relaxed, offering an extensive menu that ranges from classic nigiri and maki rolls to house‑made yakitori and other grill items. Shoppers who visit Sticks’n’Sushi Cambridge can enjoy a “single‑menu” style ordering experience, where five to eight items of their choice are assembled at the bar and served on a single plate. The restaurant’s approach to food emphasizes freshness – with a sushi bar that incorporates local, seasonal produce – and offers a variety of options that cater to dietary preferences such as gluten‑free, vegan and kid‑friendly choices. With free Wi‑Fi, a full bar and a welcoming dining atmosphere, it remains a favourite spot for students, families, and food‑enthusiasts alike.
